Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is hydration and inner dryness. 'It fills skin with moisture after cleansing · it takes care of inner dryness' was overwhelmingly the most common, at 388 of 500 reviews (77%). The Olive Young product name itself reads '[Inner Dryness Solution]', and reviewers say they stock up on it as an inner-dryness essential every fall and winter. The official rating is also high at ★4.9 (11K reviews).
Second is the texture. 211 reviews (42%) say 'it's an essence texture with a bit more body than a watery toner, so it feels more hydrating.' The glucose ingredient in the product name came up in 144 reviews (29%) — glucose especially often, along with moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid (we don't make definitive claims about efficacy). Comments that it's gentle appeared in 94 (18%), which lines up with the official 91% 'gentle and low-irritation.'
How people use it is also distinctive. 97 reviews (19%) say they layer it several times after cleansing, or put it in an empty bottle, foam pump, or spray bottle and mist it on throughout the day. As a 300ml 2-pack, 119 reviews (24%) praise the large-size value that lets you use it generously on the face, neck, and arms. That said, note that it's for recharging hydration rather than a wipe-off toner (for exfoliating), that opinions split on the texture feeling runny or turning sticky and heavy when overapplied (47 reviews · 9%), and that in a few cases one of the two caps arrived broken.
These are values we counted ourselves across 500 reviews (one review can fall under multiple keywords). If anything, they're under the real figure, not inflated.

- When you layer toner several times or mist it from an empty bottle or spray bottle

May not suit you if: When you're looking for a wipe-off toner (cleansing toner) that removes dead skin and impurities (this is for recharging hydration) / When you want a completely watery, light texture (it's an essence texture with a bit of body) / When you strongly dislike oiliness or stickiness (opinions split on it feeling heavy when overapplied)
How to Use PATTION Glucose Hydro Essence Toner (300ml × 2)
- It's for recharging hydration, not a wipe-off toner — pat on small amounts several times after cleansing to layer, and deep moisture builds up without stickiness
- Many reviews say they put it in an empty bottle, foam pump, or spray bottle and mist it on frequently, even while wearing makeup
- The texture has a bit of body, so applying a lot at once can feel heavy — apply in thin, divided layers
- Since it's a 300ml 2-pack, apply it to your neck and forearms as well as your face, or keep one bottle aside and finish one first so it lasts

FAQ
Q. Can I use it as a wipe-off toner (cleansing toner)?
No. It's not a wipe-off toner for removing dead skin and impurities but a hydrating toner that fills moisture after cleansing. Many reviews also say 'it's better used for hydration than as a wipe-off toner' (many mentions related to wipe-off toners). If exfoliation is your goal, you should look at a product meant for that purpose.
Q. Isn't it sticky?
Many reviews — 99 (20%) — say 'it stays fresh with no stickiness even after several layers.' However, the texture has a bit more body than a watery toner, so there are also 47 divisive reviews (9%) saying it feels heavy or sticky if you apply too much at once. Applied in small, divided amounts, it feels fresh.
Q. Is the texture a watery toner or an essence?
It's not a completely watery texture but an 'essence toner' with a bit of body. That's why 211 reviews (42%) say it feels more hydrating than a watery toner. On the other hand, if you expect a very light watery toner, it may feel runny yet sticky.
Q. What's the glucose ingredient?
'Glucose' is in the product name, and reviews mention glucose especially often (along with other moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid) (144 reviews mention moisturizing ingredients like glucose). However, we don't make definitive claims about the efficacy of ingredients. Please check the full ingredient list and concentrations on the Olive Young product page.
Q. Does it suit dry skin? What about oily skin?
Per official stats, 'good for dry skin' is 56%, and reviews saying it fills moisture into skin that feels tight from inner dryness or lack of moisture are overwhelming (77%). Oily and combination skin can also use it without trouble if layered lightly, but if you strongly dislike oiliness or stickiness, it's best to use less.
Q. Is a 300ml 2-pack good value?
Yes. As a 300ml double set (2-pack), many say it's good value for the volume (119 reviews on large size and value). Many people use it generously on the neck and arms as well as the face, or put it in an empty bottle or spray bottle. Stock up during a sale and it lasts a long time.
Q. I saw reviews saying the cap arrived broken?
Since it's a 2-pack set, a few reviews say one of the two caps was damaged in shipping. It seems to be a packaging and shipping issue rather than a problem with the contents, so check the caps on delivery and request an exchange or contact the seller if there's a problem.
